Opis

At a young age, Drew lost his mother to breast cancer. She was his whole world. Too afraid to show his emotions, he held everything inside. The tragedy alone was unbearable, but to make matters worse, he and his older brother, Christopher, now had to move in with their angry, hurt, and confused Vietnam Vet Father. Not knowing where to turn, Andrew felt completely lost. Normally, he'd confide in his brother, but knowing he was equally hurt, he turned to writing, instead. The problem with writing, he felt, is it wasn't tough or cool, and living in a household where no one showed their emotions, excelling in sports seemed to be the answer. So, he followed in his brother's footsteps, losing himself in sports. You can only hide behind trophies and medals for so long though. Sports eventually lost their flare, and reality started sinking in. Although, now a man, the lost, hurt, and confused, seven year old boy was still inside, searching for answers.
